Arizona Official has watched too many Simpsons epidodes

In the latest bit of proof that Arizona has out-crazyed every other state of the union (We wish to extend our sympathies to Texas, who were one more secession threat away from clinching the title), Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce has threatened the city of Los Angeles, saying that if the city council goes ahead and approved the boycott of Arizona over their new immigration laws, he will envelop them into a world of pure darkness!

Because Arizona companies provide LA with 25% of their electricity, the Commissioner has threatened to speak with these companies about cutting off the entire city (and likely a healthy chunk of their profits). We assume this will lead the city of LA to reconsider — how are they supposed to destroy the morals of our children without precious electricity?

But really, this is only notable because it was so clearly ripped off from Mr. Burns.
